Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

After all this talk of Zenbals I have made a decison to purchase the 
Zenbal China.  I was going to purchase another PCY65 to use as a 
china but I've decided I needed to try another brand's product that 
wasn't the size of my pecan pie slices.  I trust this group more 
than any other drum group because, because of them I purchased a 
DTXpressII, they've given me helpful advice even before I owned a 
kit.  From there it was nothing but trust and help in making sound 
decisions.  Thanks!
